Summary/Abstract: As an instrument of autonomisation, the functional alphabetisation is not only one of the fundamental rights of the human being, it is the condition of its development and its integration in a society that needs a more and more precise and clear communication. The inability to read, to understand and use the information comprised in a text is a troubling phenomenon that preoccupies not only the professionals of learning, supposed to correct the related mistakes, but also other institutions responsible of the good functioning and prosperity of the society. To form and develop literacy skills to children and teenagers is to recognize the importance of the relational competences which cannot be considered without a good reading skill, a good writing skill and an interacting skill, thanks to multiple communication instruments. Basic literacy, functional literacy and multiple literacy represent different degrees of mastery of these skills. Educational systems should integrate, one way or another, disciplines meant to form, entertain and develop these skills. By the structuration of these skills of linguistic communication which it proposes – especially reading and written comprehension – the European Framework of Reference for Languages can offer support and inspire the conception of new specifications of the programs of modern languages.
